(Insert Only) It is important to level the appliance. In
some installations such as a recessed firebox floor (if
the existing fireplace floor is lower than the hearth),
install the 2 leveling bolts (1/4-20 x 3" long) into the
threaded holes at the rear base of the Optima 3 INS.
Adjust bolts until appliance is level.
